Spiders
Spiders are common predators that often enter structures while following prey or searching for shelter.
Biology & Life Cycle
Spiders hatch from eggs and grow through a series of molts before reaching adulthood.
Habitats in Missouri
They live in webs, cracks, basements, garages, landscaping and other quiet locations.
Diet & the Search for Food
Spiders feed on insects and other small arthropods.
Management & Eradication
Reducing insect prey, sealing entry points and removing webs are important parts of spider management.
